CECCATO, Federico et al. Report of patients with spondyloarthritis and Takayasu's arteritis in Argentina: is it a causal or casual association?. Rev. argent. reumatolg. [online]. 2023, vol.34, n.3, pp.73-80. ISSN 0327-4411. http://dx.doi.org/10.47196/rar.v34i3.745.
Introduction:
both spondyloarthritis (SpA) and Takayasu arteritis (TAK) are rare diseases, and their association is even rarer.
Objectives:
to present a series of patients with a concomitant diagnosis of SpA or with features of SpA and TAK in Argentina and review the literature regarding this association.
Materials and methods:
the demographic, clinical and therapeutic characteristics of patients with a concomitant diagnosis of SpA or with some features of SpA and TAK were collected from different health centers in Argentina.
Results:
7 patients are described, of which 4 had SpA, one with juvenile axial involvement (axSpA), another with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), another with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and the last patient with pure axSpA and 3 of them had features of SpA (Crohn's disease, psoriasis and asymmetric oligoarthritis of large joints). In most cases, SpA features presented a median of 4 years before TAK.
Conclusions:
several case reports and case series reported overlap between these two diseases. Although they could share a certain common genetic basis, we still do not have solid evidence that allows us to estimate that this association is not coincidental.
